220. For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia. (A)For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, (B)Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years, (C)Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788 (D)During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788, (E)Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788, 我对B,D两个选项的错误还是不清楚。
合起来看,a period beginning in 1788, "始于1788年的一个时期"作为“一百年”的同谓语不太合理。同类型的题我在GMAT真题中还发现了几道,我把其总结为“同谓语应有解释力”类型,现给出题号,大家可以看一看,有兴趣可以展开讨论: OG39,220 补充材料162,333 当然同谓语的问题不止这几个,这几个题是比较典型的同谓语不具有解释力的题。
